Color Dipped Wooden Utensils + Free Printable Gift Tag

It’s officially Spring, which is my absolute favorite season!! I love all things involving tulips, longer days, and evening walks. I also even enjoy some good ol’ Spring cleaning (and I hate cleaning on a normal basis).  Well … Spring also brings with it Mother’s Day!

One of the best traits I got from my Mom is the love of all things handmade! Today I’m here with a pretty and practical gift idea for your mom – Color Dipped Wooden Utensils. It’s super quick and easy!

SUPPLIES:

Here’s what you’ll need:

  1. Set of three wooden or bamboo kitchen utensils (I found mine at Target … and forgot to take a picture of the ‘before’ … sorry!).
  2. Craft paint (I actually used some minty Valspar paint)
  3. Navy and white polka dot fabric tape.  I found mine at JoAnn.  Any fun washi tape would work, though!  Think of your Mom’s kitchen …
  4. Polycrylic ultra clear sealer
  5. Painter’s tape
  6. Foam paintbrush
  7. Printable gift tags (see below on how to download).

STEPS

And here’s how to quickly make these:

Tape off part of the top of the handle of each utensil and paint with your craft paint.

Once dry, grab your washi or fabric tape:

And a tape band around the edge of your painted section:

Now, in order to both seal the tape (so it doesn’t pull off) and waterproof it (so you can wash these utensils), you’ll want to apply a couple of coats of sealer.  I used Polycrylic from Minwax:

Apply the sealer over the top and over all edges of the tape plus the entire painted section.  This is essentially waterproofing your work!
